richie Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi there, Have been so impressed with all these conversions I thought I would have a little go. As I've said before finding 1/32 scale farm stuff here is very hard to find so when I found a cheap Country farm set for $10 ( about 4 pounds ) with seven different implements in I thought this is a good chance to have a go at conversions and if it goes wrong it's only ten dollars. So this is my attempt at a combination drill, With a bit of cutting, drilling, clueing and painting, The only thing which is wrong is the power harrow is not the same width as the drill, but hey the right camera angle and you can't tell ( well not too much).

JC Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Its a "Bobard" tractor, smaller scale than britains, can't think who makes it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Its a "Bobard" tractor, smaller scale than britains, can't think who makes it at the moment. Yep it's a Bobard I got one in a cheap farm set I bought a few years ago along with a Disc Harrow, Wheel-Barrow, Pumpkins etc......Can't remember who made it though......

richie Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi, Yes u's are right it's a bobard 72-53 I think there is some bits missing off it, I got it with a box of Britains stuff at a toy fair over here (oz) about two weeks ago the guy wanted $100 (40 pounds) and I went back at the end of the show and he still had it so we came to a deal and got the lot for $50. Bargain or what You could pay that just for two of these items on ebay, He said he brought them with them when they emigraited but his son didn't play with them that is how they are in such good nick, There is a green eight wheeled trailer as well but forgot to put in the picture. It would be good if any one has a bobard and took a picture too see whats missing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for dissing HAYBOBS :o Well done mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
